This dreaming tells about the honey ants that are found may be 2 metres underground. We look for small honey ants that come out of holes in the ground. The
honey ant country is around Yuendumu. This is still our country and we have always collected them. Women go looking for honey ants. They travel from east to west,
south to north. The women as they dig follow the small black ants and as they get closer to the main nest the ants are larger & larger as they contain more and more honey. Just after rain is the best time t look for them, or when you see the ants beginning to fly.
